Past-Life RegressionBarrie Anson Some years ago I was visited by a man in his early 30's, who asked if I could help him to relax and to overcome his occasional stammer. He was working as a builder at the time. He had an interest in spiritual matters and asked if I would be willing to regress him to a past life. Over a period of 3 months he visited me 3 times and in each of these visits he was able to respond well to hypnotherapy and each time managed to give a good description of what we assumed to be a past life experience. In the third session, he described a past life as a carpenter, living in northern Italy. In that life he was aged about 31, married to a very pretty wife, with one daughter aged about 4. He described working on an Abbey when he fell off the wooden scaffolding and broke his legs very badly. He was able to read the date 1687 on that building. Following the accident, his legs were quite crippled, but he managed to get about with the use of a crude sort of 'invalid carriage' and with the use of splints made of wood and leather. He was still able to make a living carving wood and so on and the Abbey authorities made sure that he had adequate work. That particular life ended some years later at about age 38 or 39 when he suffered, along with many other people, from fever, boils and so on. He believed it was plague that infected many others at that time. Some days after the third session, my client telephoned to say that his business partner in their building business had remarked, quite spontaneously, that he had noticed my client walking around high parts of the construction, on scaffolding and so on, with complete confidence. Previously he had been noticeably nervous when moving around on top of building constructions. The business partner had no knowledge of his hypnotic sessions or regression interludes. 13 It would seem that, real or imagined, reviewing the session illustrating his accident and injury and subsequent ability to make a living in a past life, had a powerful effect on his present life.
